[null and void]

As for the "experimenting" argument, we knew what the bombs would do.

I disagree, we thought it was just a bigger, better bomb.

Without the examples of Hiroshima and Nagasaki we would have continued to think that. The psychological threshold for using them would be much lower. The US and Soviet union would have built inventories, and ultimately, used them on each other.

Thank God we knew better...

You're probably right. Maybe if we had actually tested one...
